Andy Burnham's speech to Labour conference was excellent. Passionate, principled & explicitly putting the blame for the state of a stagnant, broken Britain on Thatcher's deindustrialisation, privatisation & the dismantling of the post-war consensus to put profit before people.

We've just heard a vision for Britain on big, big issues like social care, council housebuilding, public control of water, and making every vote count. I think everybody can get behind what Andy had to say today. #LabConf26

You know, when somebody's sick, I mean kind of mentally unstable, not to say delusional or demented, you kind of feel sorry for them. It's sad. You pity them. Unless they're the fucking President of the fucking USA and in control of fucking atom bombs that could destroy humanity. Just sayin.

If you think closing an RNLI station is done by people with "legitimate concerns" you really need to give your head a wobble. It's an unforgivable act of thuggery.

New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it. Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater. I made an 8-bit game out of it— 📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money. 📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.

Bill Bryson on the RNLI in "The Road to Little Dribbling : more notes from a small island" (2015)

I had never really stopped to consider what an extraordinary thing the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is. Think about it. A troubled ship calls for help, and eight people - teachers, plumbers, the guy
who runs the pub - drop everything and put to sea, whatever the weather, asking no questions, imperilling their own lives, to try to help strangers. Is there anything more brave and noble than that? The RNLI - I looked this up later - is an organization run by volunteers, supported entirely by public donations. It maintains 233 stations around the coast of Britain and averages twenty-two call-outs per day. It saves 350 lives a year on average.

Recently, I was in Whitby watching on the East Cliff as the RNLI lifeboat answered a call. The vessel made its way around the pleasure craft before the coxswain put the hammer down as the vessel left the shelter of the harbour. It was awesome and humbling. These men and women are heroes.

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.
